'Durante a nossa campanha 'Violência Contra as Mulheres', na Tanzania, alguns casos enfatizaram que as mulheres camponesas sofrem de violência baseada no género, como o excesso de trabalho, a falta de direito para comercializar produtos agrícolas...'

'Au cours de notre campagne tanzanienne 'Violence contre les femmes', certains cas ont souligné que les paysannes souffraient de violences basées sur le genre, comme le fait d'être surmenées, de ne pas avoir le droit de commercialiser les produits agricoles...'.

'During our #Tanzanian 'VAW' campaign, some cases emphasized that #peasant #women suffer from gender based violence, such as being overworked, no right to market farm produce with the claim from their husbands that they are paying the bride price paid to their parents'.

As camponesas tanzanianas da MVIWATA exigem que 'os homens se juntem à campanha 'Chega de Violência Contra as Mulheres', tendo espaços de diálogo masculino, uma vez que são eles os principais actores na produção da violência contra as mulheres'
